a^s.iii Friday night, when t".; anniai
cu'iirscrape was pulled c.i' or. the j
college campus.
Wesiinger was the cutter and Paschal
was the cuttee. For several days
they had been saying means things to J
each other and about each cth-^r, and j
once or twice their words were so!
heated that they had to be parted to j
W avoid a tragedy.
Finally it was suggested that these j
two bitter enemies meet on the campus '
Friday night and fight a fair square j
fist fight and have it over with. So;
y in accordance with this suggestion, the j
fck principals met at the appointed time
and place. They were surrounded by
half a hundred "rats," anxious To se?
me tray, wnen, lo and behold, Wes-1
singer wielded the despicable :iand of I
r treachery by flourishing a dangerous
looking knife. High in the air went \
the shining blade and when it descended
ii found lodgements in the quivering
flesh of Paschal's body?so the rats
thought who saw it with their own j
eyes. The red 1 fe-blood gushed out, j
or more correctly speaking, the redcolored
water ran out of the punc-:
v lured rubber bag under PasehaFs!
shirt
The young -victim of th? assassin's
hand fell back, desperately wounded, j
into the arms of his comrades, who \
j
bore his moaning and fainting form j
to his room in the dormitory. In the |
excitement which followed Wessinger i
rushed to his room, seized his suit case
and fled.
This was no time for justice and [
mercy to sleep. The would-be slayer j
must be caught and the unfortunate i
sufferer must be relieved. Searching
squads sped as fast as their trembling
. legs could carry them to Helena ana |
It to the Union station and to the rail- I
w way junction at the Southern cotton
oil mill to prevent the escape of the j
miscreant. Other excited and pers
? piring squads searched the town over
for a physician, and Cnally wnen a j
couple of them found Dr. Houseal they j
made a heart-touching appeal for him j
to go to tho aid of their dying friend,
but. unfortunately, he had an urgent
call and couldn't go.
For once the students and the police- ;
men stocd cn common ground, and tiie
boys saw the need and usefulness of
a cop. But here again, to the utter
astonishment of the boys, the policemen
seemed indifferent.
A- Rut whprhpr thp assassin escanes or
not the wounded must have medicine
from the druggist. And here is where
Billie Mayes came into the game ana
played the fakir by selling the excited
'
throng a bottle of water. One poor
rat ran all the way to town to get a
bottle of ice cold coca cola to quench
the thirst and fulfill the last request
oi his mortally wounded college mate.
* Later in the evening the ligtft began
to break in upon the victims c:' the
L joke and Saturday morning the exmr
citeiment had di.d away and all was
well.
!
Some good people condemn the jake
the eld college boys played on the new
students Friday night, while a let c.
'* other good people enjo-eu it to the
fullest. . Veil, after all, fan is a matter
of taste, just like anything else. One
fellow likes his dram weakened with
warm water and sugar, while the other
fellow who is equally as good in every
respect prefers his'n right straight out
of the bottle. No difference in kind?
just a difference in degree. i

J she is remembejei? for her successes
in "The Merry Countess." "Suzi" and
at th^ Winter Garden, as well as at
many other leaflet; theaters.
As Geraldine tfarra-r is a conspicui

j conspicuous in ber transition from
light opera to woik before the motion
picture camera. She is vivacious and
I
piquant in her work; is endowed with
an abundance of personal charm, and
enters her new field with a great
